First, an inflammation develops in the cervical canal or vagina, and further inflamed ducts which are located in the neck glands. Ducts that produce mucus in the state standards are beginning to slowly become clogged, the iron is filled with mucus and increases in size.
She looks like a domed benign tumor (can turn in rare cases, malignant tumor) of size 2-3 mm and 1-2 mm in diameter, filled with mucus yellow or white colors. Approximately 10-20% of women suffer from this disease, which can have very unpleasant consequences - infertility.
What it is?
Cyst - a void formed in various tissues. There are two types of cervical cyst:
- Nabothian cervical cysts are formed as a result of pathological changes in Nabothian glands and epithelial tissues of the cervix.
- Endometrioid. endometrial cells lining the inner surface of the uterus entering the cervix may adhere thereto, forming a cyst filled with blood. Contact endometrial cervix may occur, e.g., at birth, abortion, uterine installation helix. Endometrial cysts are usually formed in women 30-40 years old. Often there is a genetic predisposition to this disease.
The cervix is covered with several layers of the epithelium. There are two types of epithelial cells. The first - flat or scaly. They cover the outer part of the neck that extends into the vagina. Designed for mechanical protection of this part of the uterus.
Second - cylindrical. Through them all the mucus that forms in Nabothian cervical glands. Mucus is intended to create a protective tube, which prevents the penetration of bacteria into the uterus. Mucus is output through the columnar epithelium in the cervical canal (internal neck region).
Nabothian cervical cysts are formed due to blockage of the glands, which is produced by this slime. Having no outlet, it accumulates, swollen glands, forming voids. The reasons for the formation of cysts are:
- Pseudo (ectopia of the cervix). In some cases, squamous tissue begins to grow, it extends into the cylindrical epithelium covers the outlets of the glands.
- Changes in themselves glands that produce mucus. Sometimes it spontaneously condenses, clogging the exit from the gland.
Such diseases commonly occur as a result of hormonal imbalance in the body or inflammatory diseases of the reproductive system.
Causes of
Gynecologists based on risk factors that individually or in combination may contribute to the formation of cysts:
- Chronically leaking any processes in the reproductive system.
- Pathological changes in hormonal levels.
- Erosive mucosal disorders.
- During the abortion could be traumatized if cervical forcible disclosure and scraping. High professionalism gynecologist minimizes such complications.
- Cervical injuries during childbirth. Damaged cervix is quickly restored. However, as a result of the narrowing can occur either complete blockage gland ducts if damaged or proliferation of connective tissue and its compression ducts. Gradually this will lead to the formation of kistoobraznomu.
- Infectious diseases of any etiology absolutely lead to an inflammatory response. There swelling of tissues and squeezing the outside duct glands. That provides them with a possible occlusion.
- time of menopause has its own risks of cysts. Layers thinner uterus, prostate lose elasticity and shape. The walls of the uterus become sensitive to react to any action marked stimulation of the glands in the production of mucus. As a result, there is a greater risk adenemphraxis many secrets.
To a lesser extent provoke the formation of cervical cysts procedure of introducing the spiral into the uterus, appendages inflammation.
Separate species cervical cysts is endometrioid cyst cervical. It is the result of blockage and expansion glands in pathological localization of sites for this endometrial tissue. Periodically pathological tissue bleeds. When plugging the glands they accumulate bloody contents, which is a favorite ground for bacteria. Diagnosing it is also difficult in the early stages of the absence of symptoms.
If the disease has already developed quite a long time and the patient did not apply to the gynecologist for a long time, the symptoms can be quite significant and obvious:
- bleeding in a small volume is the usual time of menstruation,
- pain in the lower abdomen without some good reason;
- painful and discomfort during sexual intercourse;
- the appearance of vaginal discharge without cause.
cervical cyst and pregnancy
If a woman has developed large cysts, the diameter of which is between 1 cm and more, such formations may cause compression of the cervical canal. This pathology is sometimes becomes a mechanical factor infertility. But it should be noted that cervical cyst is still not a major risk factor for infertility.
In the presence in the cervix of the uterus single cyst or multiple formations of this type of child bearing in most cases proceeds without complications. This pathology is not affected, and the process of delivery. If during pregnancy the woman was found a cyst, its treatment is carried out only when the young mother completely stopped postpartum discharge. Complete cessation of lochia occurs, as a rule, to the fortieth day after the birth.
Women who wish to enter the intrauterine device for protection against unwanted conception, should know that a cyst in the cervix contraindication for this method of contraception is not.
Symptoms of cervical cyst
cervical cyst develops in a woman's body without causing it any discomfort. Pronounced clinical picture, which is accompanied by most of diseases, no: small formations on the neck the uterus does not cause changes in the quantitative and qualitative composition of the vaginal discharge and do not lead to disruptions of the menstrual cycle. However, in severe cases, when a cyst grows to a very impressive size, may feel some discomfort.
At this stage, the symptoms of cervical cysts appear as:
- Occurrence of pain during sexual intercourse;
- Intermenstrual bleeding;
- Changes in the character of vaginal discharge (e.g., isolation may appear not related to sexual arousal);
- Deformation of the cervix and the lining of her violations of the structure of epithelial tissue;
- Pain in the lower abdomen.
Cervical cysts are not dangerous for a woman to state. Neoplasm ever:
- Do not provoke the development of any abnormalities in the fetus;
- It does not cause cysts in the ovaries;
- It is not the cause of abortion;
- Does not turn into a malignant tumor;
- It does not violate the hormonal balance;
- It does not interfere with the normal course of pregnancy and childbirth;
- It does not cause the delay of the menstrual cycle.
However, be aware that the contents of cervical cysts can be a favorable environment for the development and reproduction of various bacteria and viruses, which are the main cause of inflammation in the female internal reproductive organs: the cervix, vagina, uterus, fallopian tubes and the ovaries. And in most cases, these inflammatory processes are recurrent in nature, and are a prerequisite to the development of ectopic pregnancy or infertility.
In some cases, in excess of 1 cm in diameter, cervical cysts, could provoke narrowing of the cervical canal and become a mechanical barrier to pregnancy.
Diagnostics
Nabothian cysts are determined by examination of the cervix in the mirrors, but additional research may be needed for the differential diagnosis.
To do this, carry out:
- determining genital infection by PCR;
- a blood test for tumor markers;
- histological examination of cervical epithelium (after scraping) for determining deformed with advanced prostate accumulated secret;
- Ultrasonic examination using a vaginal probe. Nabothian cyst defined as anehogennoe (not displaying the ultrasonic signal) formation;
- colposcopy - aimed examination of the cervix under magnification using a colposcope. When this method is determined sealed gland with extension portions.
Pathology differentiate:
- with endometrizom - uterine lining regions located on its neck. The differential diagnosis is carried out by means of histology altered tissue;
- cervical polyps. Visually, they look like Nabothian cyst, but is defined as a tight formation, reflecting echo on ultrasound polyp study. You may need to histological analysis to confirm the diagnosis.
Effects
What is fraught with failure to cure disease? Consequences such as:
- infertility;
- increase the risk of complications to the reproductive system;
- miscarriage during pregnancy, its interruption;
- loss of the organs of the reproductive system;
- anemia;
- infecting an organism, the appearance of symptoms of sepsis;
- multiple organ failure;
- unpleasant sensations during sexual intercourse;
- deterioration in the quality of life, psychological problems.
Treatment of cysts on the cervix
The different opinions expressed regarding rententsionnyh cysts cervical gynecologists. Some of them are considered asymptomatic cysts Nabothian are normal and recommend dynamic observation, others - insist on the mandatory removal of cysts as a potential source of infection. Mandatory surgical treatment are subject to the cervix large cysts (prevents conception, causing the clinical manifestations), complicated by suppuration, do not allow to reliably determine the state of the cervix in women with pre-cancerous changes.
endometriosis - hormonally induced diseases, so there are several treatments are often used together. Despite the variety of theories of endometriosis science I found exactly one: the direct cause the appearance of endometriotic lesions, including cervical cysts is an increased level of estrogen in blood.
Therefore, all treatment aimed at stabilization at this level:
- Progestins. Preparations containing progestins, estrogens reduce the relative level, allowing rid of endometriosis. These medications include Visan.
- Combination oral contraceptives (COCs). All COC consist of 2 components: estrogens and progestogens. The first component may differ in different formulations quantity. Knowing that endometriosis - estrogen dependent diseases, you need to choose products with a minimum content of this hormone. These drugs include monophasic Jess Logest, Jeanine and other means. It's important to remember that the COC help only at the initial stages of the disease, preventing its progression. If in addition to cysts of the cervix have other endometriosis, the oral contraceptives do not help. Furthermore, after drug withdrawal may be increased symptoms of the disease, however assign COCs when expressed endometriosis necessary with caution (see. damage to oral contraceptives).
- Agonists of gonadotropin-releasing hormone - a reliable method for monitoring endometrial foci, as the highest level blocking estrogen synthesis. Due to side effects used for the treatment or another neeffektivnosti expressed pain syndrome
When single cysts perhaps their complete removal in several ways:
- laser removal. Laser treatment less traumatic than others, it allows point-to work on the smallest lesions.
- Cryodestruction (exposure to low temperatures).
- Coagulation (cysts moxibustion).
- Mechanical removal of cysts by cervical conization. If the cysts are large, are a nuisance and prevent a pregnancy, then perform the conization of the cervix, ie, cutting its inner layer. This procedure is quite traumatic, but it eliminates the symptoms. After the restoration of the body's possible to plan pregnancy.
All of these processes are the removal or destruction of disease lesions, including cysts. But without subsequent medical treatment of the disease hormones return guaranteed. Therefore, after surgical treatment gynecologist assigns proper medication.
